Shingles is a viral illness that affects a variety of locations throughout the body. It most often causes a painful skin rash on the trunk, abdomen or torso. Less commonly, the rash can be found on the arms or legs. Shingles may also affect the head, face, eyes, mouth or ear.
While Shingles most commonly occurs on the torso, it can appear anywhere on the body. In this case, the Shingles rash is on the leg. The rash has a tendency to form in a band or strip on one side of the body, which is whatâs happening in this mild case of the Shingles rash.
